Replit pricing in 2026, explained

Every Replit plan, what its monthly credits pay for, and what one app costs to build and keep published, with Fabricate's prices beside them.

Replit's Starter plan is free, Core costs $20 a month and Pro $100, or up to 10% less billed yearly. Both paid plans come with monthly credits that pay for the Agent's paid modes, publishing and databases, plus Free Mode at no extra cost.

How Replit counts credits

Replit's paid plans come with monthly credits: Core's pricing card describes them as "$20 towards more powerful models" and Pro's as "$100 towards most powerful models", and Replit's docs add that the same credits pay for publishing, network transfer, database storage and AI integrations. Free Mode, on top, does everyday Agent work at no extra cost within an allowance that refreshes every five hours on Core and Pro; Starter gets a daily cap. Power and Max modes use the credits, priced by effort: one checkpoint per request, so a small fix costs less than a full feature, and Replit asks before a paid action starts. When the Agent uses another company's AI, such as Claude or Gemini, that is billed from your credits at the provider's public API rate.

The same credits pay for publishing. An Autoscale app costs $2 a month plus $0.60 per million compute units and $0.40 per million requests; Replit's example, a small business site with 75,000 requests a month, comes to about $2.39. A Reserved VM runs from $15 to $130 a month, and a static site is free to host apart from $0.05 per GB sent. Production databases bill the same way, by compute time and storage, and once the month's credits are used up, all of these are charged as you go.

Core's unused credits don't roll over; Pro's roll over for two months. Credit packs on Core and Pro run from $100 to $1,000 of credits, with up to $50 off, and expire six months after you buy them. A usage limit caps what you spend beyond your credits.

Side by side at each price

What one app costs on Fabricate

Most of a month's credits go on changes, not the first build. Here is an example month on one app, drawn against Pro's 350 credits, and a way to price your own.

An example month: one app and 30 changes

First build

One exception: on Pro and Max, when your app uses AI for its visitors, answering them or reading documents they upload, each use is paid from your credits. Serving the app itself never is.

Costs people miss

The plan price is the easy part. These four decide what a month really comes to.

  • Running out mid-month

    • ReplitUsage carries on and is billed as you go once the month's credits are used up, up to any usage limit you set. At the limit, paid services stop until the next billing cycle.

    • FabricateOn Pro and Max, extra credits start at $10 for 100 and never expire, and apps on a paid plan stay online when credits run out.

  • Your own domain

    • ReplitConnect a domain you bought elsewhere in the app's publishing settings, and HTTPS is set up for you.

    • FabricatePro connects up to 5 domains you own and Max up to 20, with the secure padlock set up for you.

  • Traffic to the live app

    • ReplitBilled. An Autoscale app pays $2 a month plus compute and requests, about $2.39 for 75,000 requests a month in Replit's example, from your credits first and then as you go.

    • FabricateNot billed. Serving your published app never touches your credits.

  • AI inside your app

    • ReplitFrom Core, Replit AI Integrations let your app call AI models without your own keys, paid from your credits.

    • FabricateOn Pro and Max, each AI answer your app gives and each document it reads is paid from your credits, and "Where your credits went" lists them for each app.

When Replit is the better buy

Replit is a fuller workspace: the code, a terminal and a database are there to work in yourself, and it builds phone apps it can send to the App Store. Free Mode lets Core and Pro subscribers keep building without spending credits, within an allowance that refreshes every five hours, and Core costs $5 a month less than Fabricate's Pro.

Pro runs up to 10 agents at once for up to 15 collaborators, with credits that roll over for two months. If you or your team write code, Replit is the better fit. We make Fabricate, so we say this part plainly.

Questions people ask

Replit's answers come from its own pages, read October 22, 2026. Fabricate's come from our live plans.

Is Replit free?
Yes, on Starter: daily Agent credits up to a monthly cap, Lite build, and one published app, which goes down after 30 days and shows a "Made with Replit" badge. Core, at $20 a month, adds full build and as many published apps as you like.
How much does Replit cost?
Core is $20 a month and Pro $100, or $18 and $90 a month billed yearly; Enterprise is priced through sales. Publishing, databases and data transfer come out of the same monthly credits, and once those are used up, extra usage is billed as you go.
How much does Replit Core cost?
$20 a month, or $18 a month billed yearly. It comes with monthly credits for the Agent's paid modes, publishing, databases and AI integrations, Free Mode within its allowance, full build, Plan mode, connectors and up to 5 builders.
How is Replit Agent priced?
Free Mode costs nothing within its allowance, which refreshes every five hours on Core and Pro. Power and Max modes use your monthly credits, priced by effort, one checkpoint per request, so simple fixes cost less than complex builds. Replit asks before a paid action starts.
What does publishing on Replit cost?
It comes out of your monthly credits first. An Autoscale app costs $2 a month plus $0.60 per million compute units and $0.40 per million requests, about $2.39 a month for a small site with 75,000 requests in Replit's example. A Reserved VM costs $15 to $130 a month, and a static site pays only $0.05 per GB sent.
Do Replit credits roll over?
Core's monthly credits don't. Pro's roll over for two months. Credit packs, from $100 to $1,000 on Core and Pro, expire six months after you buy them.
What happens when Replit credits run out?
Usage carries on and is billed as you go once the month's credits are used up, up to any usage limit you set. At the limit, paid services stop until the next billing cycle or until you raise it.
What happens when Fabricate credits run out?
Nothing is lost: your apps stay in your account, and apps on a paid plan stay online. You can upgrade, or wait until your credits refill next month. On Pro and Max you can also buy extra credits, which never expire: 100 for $10, 300 for $27, 600 for $51, 1,000 for $80, 2,500 for $185, 5,000 for $350 or 10,000 for $650.
Is there a cheaper Replit alternative?
It depends on what you build. Replit Core costs $20 a month, the same as Base44 Starter and Emergent Standard, and $5 less than Lovable Pro, Bolt.new Pro and Fabricate Pro. How far each tool's credits go on your app decides what a month costs, so compare what a month buys, not the price on the plan.
